sftp local remove

I'm not sure if people might find it useful, but when using reget in interactive mode, I often need to quit sftp and do a local rm.

I find it less annoying to use lrm (local remove file) within sftp.

The problem with implementing a local-rm is that we'd need to have it support the standard system rm flags, or at least -r, -i and -f. 

Given that you can do "!rm [flags] path [...]" with the same keystrokes as "lrm ..." but supporting all the options and needing no new code, I don't think this is worth it.
